Stage 1 Espeon with 80 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Energy Return

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), choose an Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon and return it to your hand. This power can't be used if Espeon is affected by a Special Condition.

Damage Blast Cost: Psychic + Colorless + Colorless · 30+ damage

Flip a number of coins equal to the number of damage counters on the Defending Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each heads.

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
